Baixar CodeWhale 0.8.62 per a Windows

Changed
- GLM-5.2 is now the default direct Z.AI model. DEFAULT_ZAI_MODEL resolves to GLM-5.2 in both codewhale-tui and codewhale-config; the glm-5.1 alias still resolves to GLM-5.1 (the defaulting was decoupled from the alias arm so it no longer tracks the default). Docs and config.example.toml no longer describe GLM-5.2 as an opt-in preview.
- GLM-5-Turbo registered as a real model and wired as the faster/explore sub-agent sibling for the GLM family: a GLM-5.2 parent routes faster/explore children to GLM-5-Turbo (direct Z.ai) and z-ai/glm-5-turbo (OpenRouter), instead of down to GLM-5.1. GLM-5.1 and GLM-5-Turbo themselves have no cheaper tier and keep children on the parent.
- type: "explore" sub-agents default to model_strength: "faster". Bounded read-only lookup/search/status work now uses the cheaper same-family sibling automatically, unless an explicit model or model_strength: "same" is supplied. Non-explore roles keep the conservative same default.
- GPT-5.5 / OpenAI Codex faster route stays on GPT-5.5 with reasoning resolved to low (the Codex Responses API has no true off, so the resolved effort is now honest low rather than off silently rewritten). No DeepSeek/GLM fallback is fabricated when no cheaper same-provider sibling exists. DeepSeek Pro→Flash routing and its no-thinking faster lane are unchanged.
- Base prompt / delegate skill guidance updated to encourage parallel read-only exploration (2-4 type: "explore" sub-agents) for broad repo, version, branch, benchmark, and API-surface investigations, while keeping architecture, integration, and final verification in the parent. The delegate skill examples now use provider-neutral model_strength instead of hardcoded DeepSeek model ids.
- Agent synthesis guardrails. The base constitution now frames tools around sufficient evidence rather than open-ended persistence: extra reads, searches, and delegation must target a missing fact, and agents should answer with limits instead of broadening searches indefinitely. The runtime loop guard now blocks duplicate read-only/delegated calls earlier and caps repeated broad lookup/delegation loops in a single turn with a synthesis-forcing tool error. Guard metadata distinguishes exact duplicates (identical_tool_call) from no-progress loops (no_progress_tool_loop).
- Sub-agent handoff and visibility. Direct sub-agent completions are drained before the next parent model request, so finished children can wake the main model promptly instead of waiting for an empty-tool-use branch or idle engine path. Nested sub-agents now report completions to their immediate parent inbox; the main model still receives only direct-child completions, avoiding grandchild floods while preserving nested evidence flow. Sub-agent output guidance now requires child-agent provenance when a sub-agent relies on a child report: cite the child agent_id and the child's EVIDENCE line(s), and do not present child findings as directly verified facts. The sidebar orders sub-agents as a parent/child tree and annotates nested rows with parent and depth information in hover text.
- Sub-agent summary provenance (#2652). A sub-agent's free-text result is now explicitly treated as an unverified self-report rather than confirmed evidence. The completion sentinel carries summary_kind: complete | truncated so the parent model can branch on whether it saw the full report or a clipped excerpt. Short summaries (≤ 12,000 chars) get a soft "re-verify material claims" suffix; longer ones are head+tail truncated with an honest marker stating the elided middle is not retrievable via retrieve_tool_result. Every summary therefore carries exactly one boundary marker, never both.
- Provider metadata centralization. Provider env vars, config keys, aliases, and auth hints are now resolved through the shared ProviderMetadata registry across codewhale-config, codewhale-tui, and codewhale-cli, reducing drift between the provider picker, codewhale auth, doctor --json, and setup hints.
Added
- Agent clarification questions (#3102). Agents now have a first-class request_user_input tool to ask the user structured clarifying questions through a modal UI surface instead of only emitting a chat message and hoping the user notices. Mirrors the approval/secret-request flow the harness already used for permissions. The tool accepts 1-3 questions, each with a header, an id, 2-4 selectable options (label + description), and allow_free_text / multi_select flags (both default to false for back-compat). Input is validated up front with actionable errors. Wired across all layers: the request_user_input tool, engine handling (turn_loop → approval), an interactive TUI modal (UserInputView) with full keyboard navigation, and the runtime protocol (EventFrame::UserInputRequest + AppRequest::SubmitUserInput) so headless / app-server clients can answer programmatically. Parity tests cover the wire round-trip and the omitted-flags default.
- Transcript hyperlinks — out-of-band OSC 8 (#3029). Clickable file / file:line / URL links now reach the terminal through a column-drift-safe path. Link payloads are embedded in-band by the markdown renderer, then extracted out of the ratatui buffer cells and re-emitted out-of-band by ColorCompatBackend — so the ESC bytes never occupy display columns or corrupt selection. Supporting terminals get live hyperlinks; others see the label text unchanged. Clipboard/selection extraction strips residual codes as defense-in-depth.
- CodeWhale-only skill discovery gate (#3296). New [skills].scan_codewhale_only = true limits session-time skill discovery to CodeWhale-owned roots (<workspace>/.codewhale/skills, ~/.codewhale/skills, and any explicit skills_dir) while ignoring cross-tool directories such as .claude/skills, .opencode/skills, .cursor/skills, and ~/.agents/skills. The default remains the broad compatibility scan.
- Permission/ask runtime rules (#3295). Sibling permissions.toml ask-only rules are now loaded by the TUI engine and applied to exec_shell before Auto/session approval shortcuts. Matching ask rules force an approval prompt in otherwise auto-approved flows and are rejected under approval_mode = "never".
- Runtime API no-auth documentation. docs/RUNTIME_API.md now documents codewhale app-server --insecure-no-auth for loopback-only testing and warns against combining it with --mobile on 0.0.0.0.
Fixed
- TUI polish. The empty-startup welcome block is centered by the actual rendered text width, fixing the off-center layout left over from the old sidebar-oriented welcome composition. Streaming HTTP body read errors now explain whether CodeWhale can retry before output, or is surfacing a warning after partial output to avoid replaying and duplicating streamed text.
- Config comment preservation. Rewriting config.toml, settings.toml, or tui.toml now merges user comments and formatting back into the serialized document; if comment merge fails, the write falls back to plain serialized output rather than failing.
- Snapshot gate respected for per-tool snapshots (#3292). Per-tool snapshots now check [snapshots].enabled before writing, matching the existing session-level gate.
- Poppler pdftotext detection (#1667). The dependency resolver now probes pdftotext -v instead of --version, because Poppler treats --version as an input filename. Fixes detection on systems where only Poppler is installed.
- Plan confirmation checklist visibility. The Plan-mode confirmation modal now shows the active checklist under the plan details, so users can review the concrete checklist_write work breakdown before accepting or revising a plan.
